By his observation, he said the people had a lower standard of living than in the United States and said that an average salary for a working girl in England was about $6 a week. England on V-E day, Lieut. Fulmer said, resembled a big party one that lasted nearly a week with people dancing in the streets and very happy.

To the American boys, he added, it was a happy day but all had the thought of the Pacific war ahead. As for the damage wrought by the bombing, he said it wasn't as bad in France but cities like Frankfort and Cologne looked demolished from the terrific air bombardments. Lieut. Fulmer wears the Distinguished Flying Cross for participation in 20 missions and two commendations by his commanding general.

The other crew member is still missing. Leading low level attacks drop ping supplies, were hazardous experiences, Lieut. Fulmer said. On his 27th mission, in a mission of this kind, his plane returned to England with an estimated 2000 holes in it and a loss of 500 gallons of gasoline.

The plane was so badly damaged that it was scrap ped after their return to base. Stationed at Angua, tngiana, Lieut.
